PRODUCT APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface must be clean, dry, and free from wax, grease and dust. Sand the area smooth, progressing with sandpaper 150 to 220 grit. Vacuum surface to remove dust. Wipe the surface clean with a lint-free cloth.
REFURBISHING – Existing finished wood may be refurbished without complete removal of previous coating. After using furniture polishes for many years, wood can absorb contaminants that interfere with Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane. The surface must be free from wax, silicones, oils or other contaminants, thoroughly cleaned and abraded before applying Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane.
STAINING – For best results, use Varathane Wood Stains prior to using Varathane Triple Thick Polyurethane. For other stains, follow manufacturer’s directions for application and dry times. Apply Varathane Triple thick Polyurethane directly over a thoroughly cured stain. Test a sample for product compatibility.
APPLICATION
Use adequate ventilation at all times. Do not apply in direct sunlight. Apply at temperatures between 55-90°F (13-32°C) and the relative humidity is below 85%. Be careful when applying over white or pastel paints or stains as discoloration may occur. Test Varathane Polyurethane in an inconspicuous area before beginning.
Shake the can vigorously before and during use. Use a drop cloth or newspapers to protect surrounding areas from spray mist. Apply light mist coats, holding can 10-12” from the surface. Move the can with a smooth sweeping motion to avoid runs and sags. For hard to reach areas, turn the can upside down to spray. Dries to the touch in 1 hour. Let dry overnight before use.
